What is Beats For Boobs, you ask? It’s an annual event that
brings together a diverse group of artists and activists in order to honor and
remember those who have been impacted by breast cancer. As you know, October is
Breast Cancer Awareness month and it also happens to be Fashion Week in Los
Angeles, so it’s only fitting that the annual fundraiser will take place in
L.A. on October 10th at the historical Avalon in Hollywood. The
event promises to be a night to remember – presenting the best of what L.A. has
to offer in art, fashion, food, and music.

Tickets are $30 in advance for general admission ($40 at the
door) and $100 for VIP ($150 at the door). Proceeds from ticket entrance,
donations, raffle tickets, merchandise sales, and sponsorships will benefit the Busted Foundation,
which aids women who are suffering financial hardships due to medical expenses
from breast cancer treatment. The Boarding For Breast Cancer Survivor Scholarship Fund – a youth focused non-profit foundation that advocates early
detection and a healthy, active lifestyle as the beast means of cancer
prevention through education, awareness, and support programs that serve young
people and the action sports community at large. And, The LA Gay and Lesbian Center Breast Cancer Support Group, which offers a support group specifically
for lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women who are facing issues related to
breast cancer.
